Exploring High Mountain Lakes in the Rockies

Exploring High Mountain Lakes in the Rockies
features dozens of color photographs, maps and sketches. But
it’s not a travel guide to the approximately 8,000
high-elevation lakes speckling the region; instead of trails,
biologist Fred Rabe describes geology, aquatic plants and animals,
lake formation and so on. You can amaze your hiking companions with
newfound knowledge, such as whether a lake’s inlet stream is
a "cascade-pool" or a "meandering glide."
